Is quarantine being hard on your love life too? Well, then you are not the only one. There are many couples who are suffering without each other amidst the lockdown. It is indeed a hard time for the new couples especially, as they must have just started knowing one another. And when the relationship becomes long distant, there can be hell lot of restrictions.
Is long-distance relationship difficult to maintain?
Almost all the relationships get difficult to handle at times, but it just depends on how you and your partner deal with it. As per psychologists, beyond the first few months of knowing each other, maintaining the romance is relatively easier. That happens because people actually put efforts to spend time with one another, be it phones or chatting or anything else.
Can a long-distance relationship work?
Most of the long-distance relationships end because eventually the romance fizzles out sooner or later. However, many such relationships succeed too but they require equal attention from both the partners. Factors like understanding, trust, support and faith also matter along with love in order to overlook the geographical restrains.
Try to support each other and be happy despite the distance.
Keep the intimacy alive or create it through technology. For example, video chats, sexting, etc.
You can do things together, watch a movie on your respective devices or cook a meal at the same time.
Make certain ground rules which you both can easily follow like talking on a specific time.
Don't be sad all the time by thinking about the distance and rather look forward to meeting each other by planning surprises and special things for your meeting.
Try to keep things as transparent as possible. Don't keep the other person in doubts. This may ignite fights.
Don't let anger or frustration interrupt your love. Try clearing out the misunderstandings as soon as possible.
Don't keep on complaining about being away from your partner as sometimes the absence of someone might actually bring two people even closer.
Communication is the key and especially in long-distance relationship you can have a much more meaningful interaction with your loved one than the couples who see each other every day.
Last but not the least, keep your hopes high because if both the partners are willing to make it work, it will surely work out, be it quarantine or anything else.
